A recent addition of mine is WWW::HtmlUnit::Spidey. This module uses the Java library HtmlUnit which is a headless browser with pretty good JavaScript support. Do not worry, you won't have to write any Java code :D It is good for massive web scraping where screen scraping does not scale and may be unstable. There is a tutorial here that scrapes some data obtained from a form not working without JavaScript support. Btw I am just a Perl beginner. Any Perl guru interested in co-developing Spidey?
